    Anyone else on YT would be selling the template on their ‘passive income’ website via subscription lol. You are punk as fehk for offering the template for free while teaching the process of creating a zine.
    This is a true ‘Art with No Ego.’ Selfless, inspiring and accessible to all. You are planting seeds of creativity and art. Thank you for this 👊

    Many elements of this process would benefit from the insights of a bookmaker from binding to edge trimming. You're so close to such an amazing end product!

    • @RichardSilvius
      @RichardSilvius Місяць тому

      I was thinking the same - trimming the overlapping edges looks fine from the outside, but also reduces the margins progressively towards the center of the book. Probably not that noticeable but it would be cool to try and plan for that somehow in the layout. Great video though!

    A suggestion for you. Because surely you're trimming in to the rounded corners with this order, and it
    would be worse the closer you get to the middle pages.
    So I'd say, get your folds, staple, cut off the excess, THEN round the corners.
    It could even be a quicker process because you're not having to keep rotating the full page to clip them.

    What a great video! I always enjoy The art of photography's channel when he talks about zines and have really wanted to try to make one of my own. Your way is a fun, attainable way to start out making your own. I'm definitely going to give it a try in the near future! Thanks again for sharing your process with us and for the template as well!
